Chapter 276: A Fight that Shook the World (II)

"Oh?" Scholar Sun inquired. "You still believe Xu Ziyang will win?"

"Of course!" Elder Huang replied. "The gap between the fifth realm of cultivation and the fourth realm is significant. It might seem like they are evenly matched, but that\'s due to the complexity of the techniques Chu Liang has used. These techniques have allowed him to keep up. The fact that he has fought this far is already remarkable. However, he will eventually run out of foundational qi."

The giant Metallic Body collapsed while the enchanted formation shattered.

When the storm in the arena calmed and the dust settled, a long while had passed.

At this point, Xu Ziyang had returned to his original form.

Even so, he stood on the stage with his usual straight posture. Although his expression remained calm, a hint of surprise was evident in his gaze.

The simultaneous activation of the Three-Headed and Six-Armed Form and the Form of the Heavens and the Earth, as well as the fifth-realm Metallic Body, exhausted a great amount of foundational qi. Thus, he couldn\'t sustain this form for too long.

But upon further contemplation, he realized that Chu Liang\'s consumption of foundational qi was even greater. Yet, even after using a series of immortal arts, creating the puppets through the Army of Beans, and utilizing the Five Elements Formation Diagram: Celestial Trap...

A fourth-realm cultivator wouldn\'t have this insane amount of foundational qi in their Sea of Qi.

Nevertheless, when Chu Liang reappeared, he still looked energetic. He was smiling as well.

The four puppets had already disappeared. He stood there quietly and said to Xu Ziyang, "Senior Brother, the execution of your divine techniques indeed unleashed great power. I really need to ask you for advice after this fight. Would that be okay?"

Xu Ziyang stared at him.

He pondered for a moment and said, "You are trying to buy time by talking, right? For someone at the fourth realm, the amount of foundational qi in your Sea of Qi is very impressive, but there is still a limit. No matter how strong you are, you must have exhausted all your qi by now."

Xu Ziyang immediately exposed Chu Liang\'s little trick.

No matter how powerful his ultimate-tier Golden Core was, it wouldn\'t change the fact that he was still at the fourth realm of cultivation. There was still a limit to how much his Sea of Qi could expand. Even if his qi replenished quickly, he still needed time.

If it was a normal amount of exhaustion, he could quickly replenish all the qi. However, the successive use of immortal arts resulted in continuous exhaustion at a terrifying level.

Even if his Large-Headed Doll toiled to the extreme, it was impossible for it to replenish all his qi instantly.

On the other hand, Xu Ziyang, being at the fifth realm of cultivation, had a much bigger Sea of Qi than a fourth-realm cultivator as well as a faster replenishing speed. At this moment, he was at a much better state than Chu Liang.

And now, Chu Liang just wanted Xu Ziyang to reply so that he could buy more time.

Obviously, Xu Ziyang saw through his scheme and refused to give him this opportunity.

Whoosh!

A beam of sword light slashed across the arena.

Xu Ziyang\'s flying sword, Force Slayer, was a renowned ancient sword with a distinguished battle record. It had accompanied several esteemed senior prodigies in the past.

Immediately, the beam of sword light multiplied into thousands, and the powerful sword qi instantly enveloped Chu Liang.

He used the Ten Thousand Swords Seal!

At this point in their fight, Xu Ziyang\'s condition wasn\'t great either, and his sword light was much weaker than before.

However, this sword light was strong enough to deal with Chu Liang, who was in an even worse state.

Yet, Chu Liang countered with the same level of force. He lifted his Dustless Sword and drew several talismanic scripts, controlling his sword light to fly towards Xu Ziyang!

Instead of setting up a defense, he chose to attack Xu Ziyang!

An exchange of attacks!

This was beyond Xu Ziyang\'s expectations.

As the Talismanic Sword Seal approached, he swiftly dodged and narrowly avoided the attack!

Rumble!

Simultaneously, Xu Ziyang\'s sword light advanced toward Chu Liang. At this moment, Chu Liang\'s eyes gleamed as he vanished in a flash!

Swish!

He used the Dimension Compression again!

With the same old tactic, Chu Liang broke through the barrier of sword qi, dashing toward Xu Ziyang!

Even after such intense exertion, he could instantly execute an immortal art!

At this point, Xu Ziyang found himself continuously astonished by the events of the fight.

Xu Ziyang had just dodged the Talismanic Sword Seal.

Before he could regain his balance, he twisted his fingers, merging the ten thousand sword lights into a single beam, directing it to chase after Chu Liang from behind!

When Chu Liang heard the whistling sound behind him, he didn\'t react at all. He still flew toward Xu Ziyang.

At this point, both were at their limits, but their fighting spirits burned brighter than ever.

Neither of them wanted to lose!

Boom!

In the blink of an eye, Chu Liang appeared before Xu Ziyang and punched him in the face.

Bam!

At that moment, Xu Ziyang had not activated the protection of his Metallic Body, and Chu Liang\'s punch immediately sent him flying.

Chu Liang, disregarding his own safety, was quickly caught by the Force Slayer!

Slash!

He only had enough time to dodge slightly when the flying sword slashed his right rib from behind, causing blood to splatter.

This exchange of injuries was clearly a loss for Chu Liang.

While everyone thought that Chu Liang was at the end of his rope, he suddenly smirked.

Xu Ziyang had just crashed on the ground after being hurled into the air.

When he saw the smirk on Chu Liang\'s face, an ominous feeling gripped his heart.

The blood that splattered from Chu Liang\'s injuries was imbued with his red and golden spiritual energy. As he moved the tip of his finger, the splatter of blood transformed into a golden arrow.

Swish!

Suddenly, Xu Ziyang felt his chest being pierced!

When Luo Yao and Pushan, who was at the spectator stand saw this, their eyes flickered.

When they first encountered this attack, they were fighting the Fiend of the Dark King Sect. At that time, the Fiend used the Great Blood-Refinement Art, which caused them a great deal of trouble.

They hadn\'t expected Chu Liang to master this divine technique.

After returning home from the Southern Bastion Mountain, Chu Liang had persisted in learning the Blood-Refinement Technique: Divine Light.

With the Secret Dragon Blood Technique enhancing the spiritual energy in his blood, he had achieved minor success in the learning of this Great Blood-Refinement Technique.

At this stage, where both he and Xu Ziyang had exhausted their means, this technique was finally put to use, helping him achieve success.

Plop!

Xu Ziyang\'s body fell backward, and Chu Liang also collapsed.

Both of them fell to the ground.

...

"What is going on?" The audience was baffled. "Who won?"

"It was Chu Liang who won," Scholar Sun said with a smile as he sat in the spectator stand. "Chu Liang was able to dodge, preventing Xu Ziyang\'s attack from hitting his vital points. However, Chu Liang\'s blood arrow intentionally avoided Xu Ziyang\'s vital points. If this had been a fight to the death, Xu Ziyang would have been killed."

"Haaa," Elder Huang sighed deeply.

The entire audience stared in shock. The disciples of the Hall of Alchemy didn\'t even know whether they should rush forward to help.

Then, they saw someone staggering to their feet.

To their surprise, it was Chu Liang!

The wound on his rib had already stopped bleeding, yet despite his unsteady steps, there was no sign that he had just suffered a serious injury!

What kind of terrifying recovery speed is this?

Because Chu Liang had been fighting with Xu Ziyang, who was of a higher cultivation level, they hadn\'t realized how physically strong Chu Liang was until this very moment.

Is this the body of a human?

Chu Liang approached Xu Ziyang, leaning forward with a smile on his face, and offered his hand.

Xu Ziyang weakly raised his arm and took hold of Chu Liang\'s hand.

Clap!

As Chu Liang pulled him up, the setting sun cast a golden glow over the arena. Xu Ziyang looked up and suddenly smiled gently.
